• Killer Instinct - Dingoes | DVD | (10/10/2005) from £5.38   |  Saving you £0.61 (10.20%)   |  RRP £5.99

  For a study in sheer animal cunning it would be diffi cult to surpass the dingo; an animal very similar in appearance to the domestic dog with good reason the dingo is the original dog the first wolf to be domesticated from Asia 3 000 years ago and now released for so many generations in Australia that it has returned to wolf-like behaviour.Rob Bredl examines this killer of the outback to fi nd the truth behind the hype. It successfully hunts kangaroos as well as running down sheep and cattle. For this reason in the state of Queensland a fence 3000 miles long has been erected to try and keep it out. Most famous for taking and reportedly eating baby Azaria Chamberlain in the late 70's as portrayed in the Meryl Streep movie 'A Cry in the Dark'. The dingo has recently started to attack and kill humans again posing clashing cries of destruction and conservation. Rob has his own dingoes DNA tested for purity and lineage knowing the killer instinct lies deep within.

• Ivory Orphans | DVD | (17/08/2009) from £12.85   |  Saving you £0.14 (1.09%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This is a touching story of how motherless elephant calves are cared for and reintroduced into the wild. The programme focuses on the characters of the elephants Ajok Ndume and Tya and their relationship with their keepers. The story takes us to Nairobi National Park where David and Daphne Sheldrick established a sanctuary for orphaned elephants. The bond between the keepers and the Ivory Orphans gradually develops as the keepers sleep with the animals to calm the nightmares that they experience as a result of the trauma of loosing their parents. We see how the orphan's personalities develop over the months in the compound. Ndume becomes the boisterous guardian of the group - Ajok is always looking for trouble and Tya who is a sick little elephant develops a close and tactile relationship with her keepers. Unfortunately during the course of the film Tya dies in a moving sequence in the arms of her keepers. For the older calves life gets better and we observe the preparations for the transfer to Tsavo where they will begin a process of final rehabilitation back into the wild. In Tsavo we meet Barbara McKnight an American Biologist who is making a comparative study of wild calves and those that have been orphaned. Finally we see the Ivory Orphans introduced to Eleanor an awesome thirty-three year old Matriarch who was rescued by Daphne many years ago and appeared in the feature film 'Born Free'. She becomes the group's surrogate mother helping their final rehabilitation into the wild. The DVD also contains more information about THE DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST and the work they do including details of their FOSTERING PROGRAMME. Plus two delightful photo galleries of the baby elephants and infant rhinos being cared for by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
